Comfort in my own skin
Losing weight used to be the most important thing in my life. Year after year, it was my resolution each January. And year after year, despite my weight, I still never felt like I had succeeded. If I gained, I had obviously failed. If I maintained, I had not done enough. If I lost, I … Continue reading Comfort in my own skin
No more food restriction
I've always chased success and compared myself to others based on restriction. I can lose weight if I don't eat sugar. I can get more done at home if I don't watch television.

Put more life into your time
I planned to get a blog post written earlier in the week, but life happened (as it does) and I was delayed. This year, 2019, I am working on putting more life into my time, rather than lifehacking and multitasking and rushing to get more time into my life. This week, that looked like not … Continue reading Put more life into your time

Book Review: The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker
Everybody has the aha! moment that starts their journey to minimalism. For me, it was a basement full of stuff at my mom's house after my first divorce. For some, it's knowing there's a pizza cutter somewhere in the kitchen but being absolutely unable to find it in all the chaos. For Joshua Becker, it was when … Continue reading Book Review: The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker
